A diet might help you with a rheumatoid arthritis problem. It is really a trial and error thing, but well worth the testing as it can alleviate much of your problem.
One suggestion is to give up animal protein.
Another suggestion is to stop consuming foods in the nightshade family. This includes tomatoes, white potatoes, the various peppers, eggplant, tobacco and belladonna. Be forewarned that using nightshade products can take as long as 48 hours before a reaction comes on. If you get a reaction, it could take as much as 6 months for the reaction to stop.
When going the homeopathic treatment for arthritis path using diet, read labels on prepared foods. The pre-processed foods can have potato starch or tomato paste in it. Relish can have peppers or paprika in it. Look for the word “spices”.
You might also want to try a gluten-free diet. This means no wheat, rye, barley and oats.
If that does not work, your next course of action should be giving up all dairy products.
Some causes of rheumatoid arthritis are mold. Food most susceptible to mold are potatoes, sweet potatoes, berries, nuts, honeydew and cantaloupe. Watch for a reaction if you find you unknowingly ate a moldy product.

There’s an enormous problem that exists today with the huge number of people suffering from arthritis in its many forms. It is said that well over half the population of this country who are over 60 suffer from either osteo or rheumatoid arthritis.
Both are caused by “bone and cartilage gravel”, the bits of bone and cartilage which are left in the joints after the body has started to deteriorate, rubbing in the joints each time it moves. This “gravel” rubs on the nerve ends, causing pain, whilst at the same time creating more damage as the “gravel” continues to rub away more of the bone and cartilage. In other words, a vicious circle that modern medicine cannot resolve.
But there are ways in the alternative remedy field that may, and I know of many cases that have, been able to break this circle.
I recommend that a daily Hemp Oil Capsule, or the liquid neat, which is quite tasty, and can be taken off a spoon, should be considered long term. Hemp Oil comes from hemp seed: THE MOST NUTRITIONALLY COMPLETE FOOD SOURCE IN THE WORLD.
Taking a quality Hemp Oil is just the same for your body as putting oil in your car’s engine. It lubricates the system. Hemp is unique with an almost perfectly balanced profile of Omega 3, 6 & 9 to match the body’s requirements.
Uniquely among common seed oil, it also contains GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) and even more uniquely, raises circulating GLA.
GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) research around the world has shown that hemp oil (as can all essential fatty acids) boosts the body’s natural ability to heal and also boosts our immune systems. The Essential Fatty Acids in hemp are renowned for their ability to improve cell growth and organ function, vitality and mental state.
Extensive studies have shown that many common illnesses (such as Eczema, Arthritis and many other problems) are related to deficiencies or imbalances of specific fatty acids, and in particular, Omega 3, 6 & 9. Seeds of the plant cannabis sativa, hemp seed (not the drug plant!) contain all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary to maintain healthy human life. No other single plant source has the essential amino acids in such an easily digestible form, nor has the essential fatty acids in as perfect a ratio to meet human nutritional needs.
Its distinctive nutty flavor makes it ideal for use in salad dressings, dips etc., as an accompaniment to all vegetables, or taken straight, as a nutritional supplement.
Hemp Oil is suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.

Arthritis comes in many forms. Therefore, the symptoms vary and the causes vary. There are some overlapping symptoms, but also some differentiation. The following paragraphs will explain some arthritis symptoms and examples.
The first type of arthritis we will discuss is what is known as ankylosing spondylitis. This is arthritis of the spine and the joints inside the spine. Other names for this type of arthritis are Marie-Strumpell disease and rheumatoid spondylitis. Organs such as eyes, heart, skin, lungs and the gastrointestinal tract are affected. The symptoms include low back and hip pain and stiffness. It is includes difficulty in expanding the chest, a pain in the neck, shoulders, knees and ankles. There is also a low-grade fever, fatigue and weight loss associated with it. The onset of this type of arthritis is usually at the age of 30 or earlier.
Another type of arthritis is bursitis. Bursitis is known to affect the hip, elbows, and shoulders, but there are times when it also affects the knees, heels, or the base of your big toes. Athletes such as baseball players and golfers find themselves affected as well as people who have poor posture and people who are out of shape. The symptoms of this type of arthritis include pain and stiffness in the joint. Other symptoms include swollenness and warmth of the joint. The more you use the affected joint, the worse the symptoms become.
The next type of arthritis is juvenile arthritis. The symptoms of this are similar to the adult symptoms. This includes pain, swelling and joint stiffness. Affected people find the symptoms to come and go. Because children complain less than adults tend to, this type of arthritis can go undetected or unnoticed until the child is seen limping, avoiding physical activity or being somewhat clumsy.
Then there is also osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis in older people. The cause is partly because of normal use every day. The symptoms of osteoarthritis vary, but most people have problems in their fingers. An x-ray will reveal its presence because the doctor will see deterioration in the cartilage. Symptoms of this type of arthritis are pain and swelling, but over time, it fades to become less of a problem. It never does go away though.
Gout is another form of arthritis. This is when the body has too much uric acid in it. The symptoms include intense pain in the joint, of which the big toe is the most commonly affected part of the body. You will find the join becomes swollen and is warm to the touch. Sometimes people get gout in their wrists, ankles and knees. The symptoms come and go and it might be years before the next symptom comes about. If left untreated, however, crystals are formed by the uric acid and a part of your bone can be destroyed.
Finally, there is rheumatoid arthritis. This is caused by an overactive immune system. The symptoms associated with this are stiffness and pain. At first it is minor and comes and goes. However, eventually the symptoms get worse and more frequent. However, do not let the minor symptoms go unheeded, as the best treatment for this type of arthritis is early treatment.
If you would like more information about the various types of arthritis, the symptoms and treatments, you will find a wealth of information from the arthritis foundation. We will bring you some homeopathic treatments for arthritis in another article.

There is few women who go through life without experiencing at least one yeast infection. And there are women who experience recurring bouts of this. Symptoms are painful to say the least and include itching, redness, discomfort and burning. There is also a discharge present, which may be more pronounced in the morning.
If you make use of home remedies or homeopathic treatment for this infection, just make sure you don’t leave it for too long without consulting a medical professional. This is in the case that the condition does not clear up within a week or so.
What is so pleasant about using homeopathic medicine is that it does not cause side effects. Many of the medicines used to clear up the fungus are toxic, but not if they are homeopathic. Some homeopathic treatments include natrum muriaticum, kali bichromicum, borax, tea tree, calcarea carbonica, sepia, kreosotum and sulpur.
Home remedies are simple and work effectively too, for example common apple cider vinegar, this may be diluted and used as a douche. Garlic is an anti-fungal and works well for yeast infection, it may be eaten or used as a tampon (check how to do this before trying). Natural plain yoghurt is soothing and kills the fungus by introducing good bacteria. Eating cranberries is also very good, don’t drink sweetened cranberry juice, and the sugar feeds the fungus.
Make sure that your underwear is cotton, and if you have a yeast infection, don’t have sexual intercourse, it can make matters worse. Sometimes a yeast infection can become resistant to the drugs being used, with a natural remedy, this does not happen.

A favorite use of homeopathic treatments is called aromatherapy treatment. This is with the use of essential oils. There is when essential oils are used or changed to enhance the emotional mindset in order to accomplish goals.
Connecting your mind together with your body is a very powerful force. That is where essential oils come in. They are used to make use of this force in order to provide a homeopathic treatment. Homeopathic treatments of this kind make use of herbs and plants to be used as a medicine. These herbs and plants are believed to offer alternative treatments to ill people.
The word aroma is known as a fragrance and the smell is arrived from using a variety of chemical compounds, wines, and flowers. Essential oils are extracted from them. The word therapy is known to be the measures used for a treatment of a disability or disease. The therapy can be psychological or medical and is for the promotion of a person’s physical health and mental stability. Therefore, the word therapy is for the purpose of a recovery from various health problems.
You can find aromas everywhere you go. They can be found in fruits, plants, barks, roots, and garden flowers such as roses. There aroma in limes, lavender and lemons. In fact, you find aromas in things you use all the time such as soaps and shampoos as they include essences of plants, fruits and flowers.
However, in order for aromatherapy to work, you must use pure essential oils. In addition, you must realize that some essential oils are toxic. So careful attention is required to reap the benefits of their medicinal properties and keep the use of them safe. Carrier oils are needed to allow the essential oil to slowly penetrate through the skin. It also prevents inflammation. Some common types of carrier oils are jojoba, sweet diamond, rose hip, olive, sunflower, sesame, safflower and hazelnut.
The storage of essential oils is also important. As we mentioned in a previous post regarding honey, essential oils should be stored in glass jars or glass vials. Plastic containers should not be used as plastic, especially when it gets heated up, (even by sunlight), changes the properties of the oils. When it comes to Essential Oils, it is preferred that the glass jars or vials be colored cobalt or amber. Make sure they are stored in a cool, dry place. They will least from one to three years for the most part, but oils like citrus oil will last between six months to a year.
Multi-purpose essential oils are rosemary, lavender, tea tree, chamomile, rose, pine, eucalyptus, peppermint, lemon and sandalwood.

Skin condition breakouts can occur on people of all ages, starting between the ages of ten and thirteen. There are lots of over-the-counter and prescription treatments for acne, as well as acne natural treatments. Acne occurs not only on the face and neck, but can also be widespread on the back, with an occasional pimple on a limb or buttock. Bouts of acne appear in the form of whiteheads and blackheads when the pores of the skin become clogged. Nodules or cysts are deeper lumps that can be trickier to get rid of.
There is the misunderstanding that acne only occurs in young people, whereas it can occur for people even into their forties. Many people have a tendency to squeeze blackheads and whiteheads in an effort to get rid of them. This is not considered one of the most effective acne natural treatments, as harmful bacteria can then get into the lesion left and cause infection. Approximately 50% of young people require the professional treatment and prescription of a doctor to treat their acne break outs.
Acne is not focused on just on race or ethnicity. Individuals of all races and ethnicities can be susceptible to acne breakouts. Acne is also not age particular, as many people do not experience it until later maturity. More males than females experience rigorous outbreaks of acne, but males tend to choose acne natural treatments, rather than consulting a dermatologist. Persons with milder cases of acne can choose a variety of over-the-counter treatments, but since there are different causes, there are different products that work more successfully for each individual case of acne. Individuals suffering from severe acne are would be wise to consult a dermatologist.
There are also acne natural treatments that do not involve marketed products. These include certain types of vitamins, ingested and topical herbal remedies and changes in diet. Zinc is one mineral that has been proven to be successful in treating some forms of acne. Much acne is caused by hormonal changes and zinc has been proven to be effective in hormonal treatment. One must be careful about what is combined with zinc, as some substances can greatly impair the effectiveness of the zinc and even deactivate it. Being aware of foods high in natural zinc content and including them in your diet provides for much of the acne natural treatments.
Certainly this is not saying that you simply take some vitamins and minerals and the acne will go away. Each individual acne cause is different, and each individual acne cure varies as well. One should be aware that some vitamins and minerals can do more harm than good. There are some herbs and herbal mixtures that are quite effective as one of the acne natural treatments. Further investigation in this area is wise; however, as some herbal treatments can be quite harmful to certain body organs.

We are a group of five people who believe in the science of natural curing, homeopathic treatments and the ability of nature to help us survive right into old age.
We all know that modern medicine has helped prolong people’s lives and has made great strides in keeping people healthy and also in getting rid of illnesses. In fact, many of these medical miracles are derived from plants and herbs we can find growing around the world.
One of the healthiest foods in the world has been known to heal for thousands of years. It’s even written in the bible about 66 times as to its powerful healing ability. This is the food we know as honey. Today’s processed honey is good, but the processing does take away from it’s ability to heal. What the bible considers the true way to heal yourself is through raw, pure honey. Straight from the bees to your mouth. Everything and anything done to honey devalues it’s healing ability. This includes adding any preservatives to it, adding water to it, heating it up so it pours better, and even containing it in a plastic bottle. This lessens the quality and effectiveness of the honey. If you, like most people, do not have the benefit of your own bee farm right in your own backyard, then we suggest you purchase not only pure, natural, raw honey, but also honey packaged in a glass jar. Believe it or not, where the bees live and the climate the bees live in also is a contributing factor on how medically healing the honey is. The bees need an area in the mountains to fly around in and pollunate in that is undisturbed by anything other than wildflowers. The more variety of wildflowers the better.
In the winter, when the wildflowers are covered in snow and the baby bees get hungry, if they are fed food other than honey from their parents, this too lessens the quality and homeopathic healing ability of the honey.
So good, pure, natural honey is not only hard t0o find, but also very expensive–and for good reason.
This is just one example of nature’s ability to cure, heal and prevent illnesses. We will go into more sources and what exactly they do heal in other postings.
Stand by and keep a lookout for what you can do to preserve and lengthen your life through homeopathic treatments.
Yours in the science of homeopathy,
Helene, Paulette, Mark, Andy and Matthew
